DIY Programs




Cute!





I found these on weddingbee.com, cute idea!

Here are the instructions posted:
These pocket programs were 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 when folded. Perfect for sticking into a small purse or a suit jacket pocket! They opened up accordion style and had four panels inside. The stickers on the front were able to be run through an ink jet printer.

For the inside, cut the paper for the inside to be a half inch shorter and narrower than the outside. The inside and outside pieces were rubber cemented together.

Also, she used 12 x 12 white cardstock and used her paper cutter to cut it into 12 x 3 inch strips. She ran the 3" strips through the printer. Then again using my paper cutter, she used a scoring blade and scored the paper every 3 inches. She then used an edge rounder to round the edges on the white cardstock. If you do not have an edge rounder, invest in the Fiskars one, she bought two others (that did not work all that well) before she got the Fiskars one. The green paper was cut into 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 squares and then the edges were rounded as well.


Whew! now that I think about it, this task may be a little too tedious for a ceremony program but I will keep it in mind! I'm noticing that edge rounders are popular in wedding diy projects.
